Hi William
Many thanks for your reply. I think you have done tremendously well, and in such a short time. I am full of admiration! I don't snack on sweet stuff, just occasionally go off the rails with cheese! So, inspired by you I am going to go ahead with the EasyBand if the surgeon will agree. I'll not lose the weight any other way.
Regards Rowley

Hi Rowley,
Well this is a hard question tbh. I decided myself without consultation that the easyband was for me. Then i went to Dr Ashton and he asked had i considered the Bypass.
I said no and that i wanted just the band.
The bypass and sleeve are more drastic surgery due to there being more "possible" complications. Mine was a simple operation with fast recovery.
What this boils down to is you. If you are a grazer, ie you eat pretty much most of the day with a sweet tooth then you will probebly cheat the band unless you work at changing your lifestyle and go into it 100%.
I am 3lbs short of loosing 4stone since May2009.Its not easy but as i am getting more restriction with the band its getting easier.
The difference is this. At my goal weight i can decide to reduce the restirction as i want depending on my eating progress. With the bypass or sleeve there is no option to choose as its permanent. It will boils down to your commitment to change.
